a) x – 2y + 6 = 0 b) x + y = 1 c) y = 1 d) y = -3x + 8

<h3><u>Solution:</u></h3>

<em><u>a. The points (-4,1) and (2,4) both lie on the line</u></em>

The general line equation on which (a, b) and (c, d) lies is:

y-\mathrm{b}=\frac{d-b}{c-a}(x - a)

Here the given points are (a, b) = (-4, 1) and (c, d) = (2, 4)

Thus the required equation is:

y-1=\frac{4-1}{2-(-4)}(x-(-4))

On solving we get,

\begin{array}{l}{\rightarrow y-1=\frac{3}{2+4}(x+4)} \\\\ {\rightarrow y-1=\frac{3}{6}(x+4)} \\\\ {\rightarrow 2(y-1)=1(x+4)} \\\\ {\rightarrow 2 y-2=x+4} \\\\ {\rightarrow x-2 y+6=0}\end{array}

<em><u>b.) m= -1 and the point (2, -1) lies on the line</u></em>

The equation of line in point slope form is y – b = m(x – a)  

where m is slope and (a, b) is a point on it

Here m = -1 and (a, b) = (2, -1)

Thus the required equation is:

y – (-1) = -1(x - 2)  

y + 1 = -x + 2  

y = -x + 2 -1  

y = -x + 1

<em><u>c. )It has the same slope as y = 5 and passes through (1, 1)</u></em>

our line has same slope with y = 5, then our equation would be y = k  and it passes through (x, y) = (1, 1) so, then by substitution

1 = k

k =1  

Then our equation will be y = k

y = 1

<em><u> d. ) m= -3 and it has a y-intercept of (0, 8)</u></em>

line equation in slope intercept form is y = mx + b where m is slope and b is y – intercept.

Then, our equation will be y = -3x + 8

We took y- intercept = 8 as it is the value of y when x = 0

The mean length of 5 childrens' index finger is 5.6cm.
Brilliant_brown [7]

The mean length (rounded to 2 DP) of these 8 people's index finger is 5.83

<h3>What is the mean length (rounded to 2 DP) of these 8 people's index finger?</h3>

The given parameters are:

<u>Children</u>

Mean = 5.6 cm

Frequency = 5

<u>Adult</u>

Mean = 6.2 cm

Frequency = 3

The mean length of these 8 people's index finger is calculated as:

\bar x = \frac{\sum fx}{\sum f}

So, we have

Mean = (5.6 * 5 + 6.2 * 3)/(5 + 3)

Evaluate

Mean = 5.83

Hence, the mean length (rounded to 2 DP) of these 8 people's index finger is 5.83

When solving for the value x in the equation 4(x-1) +6= 18, aaron wrote the following lines on the board:
iren [92.7K]

Answer:

The Distributive Property.

Step-by-step explanation:

4(x - 1) = 12

When distributing out the 4, it must go to all the terms within the brackets like this:

4x - 4 = 12.

4x = 16

x = 4.
